Love Bites; Bullets

Making the Move

I was suspended for a total of three days after breaking that fucking kids nose, even though he deserved it. The worst part of it all, was being home with my dad. That bastard would not leave me alone for just about anything, would nitpick for no reason at any chance he could. Except for the one day that he was hungover to shit, had such a horrible migraine that he couldn't yell. 
"Why in the fuck did you break his nose huh?" He moans while rubbing his head on the couch while I was in the kitchen doing dishes.
"Why would you care!?" I snapped at him.
"Damn! I'm just curious you little asshole!" He shouts, then moans again out of regret for raising his voice. Then there's a pause, before I finally decided to explain myself, since I couldn't seem to get it out of my head.
"He fucking shoved her okay!" I shouted.
"Shoved who!?" He asks angrily.
"This.. Girl." I swallowed my breath just thinking about Casey.
"Well? Am I wasting my time pal!" He asks after another long pause.
"Her name is Casey and she's a nice girl to talk to, that's it." I smiled to myself without realizing again, and I'd been doing that way too often.
"Oh, whatever." He says then makes a loud snoring noise, when I know he's going to rest soon in his chair. That's when I know to continue my fair share of labour.

The next day, it was ready for me to go back to School, and the usual for me would take extra time off for the hell of it. But, I couldn't wait for my suspension to be over for so many reasons, and not all of them included my old man as you could probably tell by now.
As soon as I entered the building, I saw Casey with her friends. I didn't recognize one of them, but I did recognize the other girl; and still couldn't exactly pinpoint where I saw her. Regardless, I was so fucking excited to see Casey that my whole Aurora simply lit up. I also didn't wanna walk over there and talk to her when she was with other people, to be honest, I really don't know or like anyone else. That's the whole reason my map was gonna be the best plan ever, and I was so eager that coming June.
I waited until later on when I saw her coming down the hallway, I smiled, and she didn't even acknowledge me! What the fucking fuck is going on!? We just had a real connection at the courtyard where I defended and protected her, was this her strange way of thanking me? I tried again to have her look at me, but she'd glance, then looked away but this time looking sad. What in the hell was that about!

At lunch, I came to the conclusion that everything I thought we had between us was simply a lie. I was heartbroken, and just went back out into the courtyard to work on my notebook and map and carelessly wiping away the few tears I suddenly shed. Damn man, I never cry. And just as I accepted my unnatural love feelings for this girl, she fucking broke my heart and stomped on it. That was when I felt like someone was staring at me, then I heard parts of a conversation in the cafeteria that Casey and her friends were having; so I immediately listened closer.
"Casey!" The two girls shouted at her, and I noticed that she was staring at me the whole time and they caught her. Then I saw this blonde girl stand up and walk away from the table looking very annoyed. Casey followed behind another girl who was following the blondie, and then the dark haired girl said something to Casey that was really an eye-opener.
"You're mad in love with Ryan, and I am not gonna stop you any longer!" She lowers her head and cries into the girl's shoulder. Eventually, the girl pulls her off and she catches up with the other one. I got so excited that I took a shortcut around the building where she couldn't see me, and I stood behind her while she turned to her side to look back into the yard I was once at, then I did the scariest thing ever and tapped her shoulder gently before turning to look back up at me.
"So, you're in love with me?" I asked, she grinned nervously.
"Umm.." She goes on to say, but I lost all control and pulled her in tightly to lock lips. I was so happy, and loving all the feelings I was getting, despite my terrible past with love and lust. I conquered all the terror I had in me, and made the first move that day. I heard and saw people pointing, laughing, and talking, but that only made me wanna kiss her more. 
"Yes." She said as I gently let her go, and I smiled at her response.
"Good." I say, as we walk down the hallway together. 

I am the last person I ever thought would genuinely be in love.
